Download or read book World of Wonders written by Aimee Nezhukumatathil and published by Milkweed Editions. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A poet celebrates the wonders of nature in a collection of essays that could almost serve as a coming-of-age memoir.” —Kirkus Reviews As a child, Nezhukumatathil called many places home: the grounds of a Kansas mental institution, where her Filipina mother was a doctor; the open skies and tall mountains of Arizona, where she hiked with her Indian father; and the chillier climes of western New York and Ohio. But no matter where she was transplanted—no matter how awkward the fit or forbidding the landscape—she was able to turn to our world’s fierce and funny creatures for guidance. “What the peacock can do,” she tells us, “is remind you of a home you will run away from and run back to all your life.” The axolotl teaches us to smile, even in the face of unkindness; the touch-me-not plant shows us how to shake off unwanted advances; the narwhal demonstrates how to survive in hostile environments. Even in the strange and the unlovely, Nezhukumatathil finds beauty and kinship. For it is this way with wonder: it requires that we are curious enough to look past the distractions in order to fully appreciate the world’s gifts. Warm, lyrical, and gorgeously illustrated by Fumi Nakamura, World of Wonders is a book of sustenance and joy.

Download or read book I Wonder written by Marian Bantjes and published by The Monacelli Press, LLC. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From typographic illustrator Marian Bantjes, I Wonder will make you think in new ways about art, design, beauty, and popular culture. This unique presentation features the elaborately crafted word pictures of Marian Bantjes, the most inventive and creative typographic illustrator of our time. Whether intricately hand-drawn or using computer illustration software, Bantjes's work crosses the boundaries of time, style, and technology. There is, however, another side to Bantjes's visual work: her thoughtful treatises on art, design, beauty, and popular culture that add a deeper dimension to the decorative nature of her best-known work. These reflections cover the cult of Santa, road-side advertising, photography and memory, the alphabet's letterforms, heraldry, and stars. Bantjes's writing style ranges from the playful to the confrontational, but it is always imbued with perspicacity, insight, and a sense of fun. Intended to inspire creatives of any persuasion, this is more than a collection of ideas: Bantjes has meticulously illustrated every page of the book in her inimitable style to create an accessible work of art that is far greater than the sum of its parts. Quirky, poignant, astute, funny--this beautiful book presents a compelling collection of observations on visual culture and design. In Stefan Sagmeister's telling words, Bantjes's work is his "favorite example of beauty facilitating the communication of meaning." This paperback edition is expanded with a new essay from the author.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wonders of Nature and Art, Vol. 5: Being an Account of Whatever Is Most Curious and Remarkable Throughout the World; Whether Relating to Its Animals, Vegetables, Minerals, Volcanoes, Cataracts, Hot and Cold Springs, and Other Parts of Natural History Foil bf Tunis is generally fruitful towards the'wefi, but very poor'towards the eafi for want 'of, water; and that part oftripoli contiguous to Tunis is tolerably fertile. Algiers is very mountainous to wards the Mediterranean; but both the hills and vallies, where they are cultivated, abound in corn, dates, almonds, olives, figs, grapes, and other fruits. The country of°fez and Morocco is finely diverfified with mountains and vaft extended plains, moii of them fufiiciently fruitful, and pretty well inhabited; though in many parts, as well as the reft of Barbary, it is dry, fandy, and barren. Most of this large country, now called Bari bary, was famous in the times of the ancient Ro mans, againft whom the Carthaginians maintain: cd three bloody wars, 'the fecond of which had almoi't put an end to the'roman power and glory, as the third did to that of Carthage, which they took and burnt'to the ground. 1nor, did the Ro mans reit contented with having'deftroyed that rival city, and brought the Carthaginians under their yoke; but they extended their conquefls on. All fides, reduced Numidia and it's king Jugu'rtha, whofe ancefiors had (0 long reigned there; and after him the brave Juba, king of Mauritania. Thus not only all the coafi of Africa on the Me diterranean, but the inland part as far as the de fert, became fubjefi to the Roman yoke, and made mew provmces of their vaf't empire. In this con dition it continued, during the reigns of feveral emperors, till, ' Chrifiianity having taken root in the country, it became as eminent for men of dearning and piety, as it is at prefent for a race of cruel p'underers and pirates, enemies to the Chrif tian name - But we mufi not enter into the hif'tory 'oi Barbary, that being foreign to our defign, which -is to furvey it's, natural and artificial rarities.
